One of the important tasks of a modern hospital, in addition to treatment, prevention, and education, is the activity in the field of donating organs from deceased and living donors. In July 2010, the Polish Transplantation Coordination Center Poltransplant (the national transplantation organization and the authority responsible for organ donation and transplantation), thanks to the funds of the Ministry of Health, under the National Program for the Development of Transplant Medicine, initiated the project of building a network of coordinators by employing hospital transplantation coordinators in selected hospitals, where it is possible to identify potential deceased donors, perform the brain death diagnostic procedure, and where the conditions are met and it is possible to collect organs (they have an intensive care unit and operating theater in their structures). In Poland, these conditions are met by 388 hospitals with a donation potential.
The aim of the work is to present the functioning of the system of transplant coordinators in Poland.
The work presents the system of employment and tasks of transplant coordinators at various levels: hospital coordinators for donating organs from deceased donors, living donation and transplant coordinators, coordinators of hematopoietic cell collection and transplantation, central coordinators of Poltransplant, and organ procurement and transplant coordinators associated with transplant centers.
现代医院的重要任务之一，除了治疗、预防和教育，还在于从事已故和活体捐献者器官捐献领域的活动。2010 年 7 月，波兰器官移植协调中心 Poltransplant（国家移植组织和负责器官捐献和移植的机构），在卫生部的资助下，根据国家移植医学发展计划，启动了在选定医院招聘医院移植协调员的项目，在这些医院中可以确定潜在的已故捐献者，进行脑死亡诊断程序，并且具备收集器官的条件（其结构中设有重症监护室和手术室）。在波兰，有 388 家有捐赠潜力的医院具备这些条件。
本工作旨在介绍波兰移植协调员系统的运作情况。
本工作介绍了各级移植协调员的聘用和任务系统：已故供者器官捐献协调员、活体捐献和移植协调员、造血细胞采集和移植协调员、Poltransplant 中心协调员、与移植中心相关的器官获取和移植协调员。
